A simple traditional Arabic recipe for cookies similar to shortbread. The wonderful flavor comes from the cardamom, which is fairly expensive, but very worth it. I actually prefer them without the almonds, but you might add them if you like.

Time 35m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
12 almonds, split

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in flour and cardamom until well blended. Pinch off tablespoonfuls of dough, and roll into a thin rope. Join the ends together in a circle, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Place almond halves on the joints where the circles come together.
  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies should remain white, but may turn golden at the very edge.
